Adult MHFA Refresher (Online)

Refresh your MHFA skills online

Instruction by Peter Larkum • Certified through MHFA England • Half day online course

Practice your skills and stay up to date

We believe that mental health should be treated equally to physical health — and just like physical first aid, Mental Health First Aid training should be kept up to date.

Course info

If you are a Mental Health First Aider or MHFA Champion you have skills for life that support you and the people around you.

The four hour MHFA Refresher course will empower you to:

• Keep your awareness of mental health supports current
• Update your knowledge of mental health and what influences it
• Practice applying the Mental Health First Aid action plan

Cameras on!
To help with engagement, we ask everyone to keep their cameras on during every session. If you do not wish to have your camera on, please let us know ahead of time so we know not to request you to turn it on during the session.

Course numbers
Due to some of the sensitive subjects of our courses, we limit numbers to 16 people. We want everyone to feel safe and our instructors can help if people find some bits particularly difficult.

What’s the course like?
Learning takes place through a mix of presentations, group discussions and workshop activities.

We provide a very safe learning environment and are trained to support you throughout the course. If you don't feel comfortable joining in certain bits, then don't, we won't make you do something you aren't comfortable with.
